2-Hour Dolphin Tour


Join us for a two hour tour as we ride through the Low Country waterways while watching for birds, dolphins, and the salt marsh ecosystem. We travel down Broad Creek and into Calibogue Sound where we see the beautiful Harbor Town Lighthouse. The nice thing about the boats that we use is that they are stable, comfortable and small enough to get close up encounters with the diverse variety of wildlife. As we travel through Calibogue Sounds we usually see many dolphins! If time allows the captain may also throw a cast net along the banks of the marsh and display the shrimp and small fish that might be caught.

Dophin Tours depart daily at 8 AM, 10:30 AM, 1 PM, 3:30 PM, and 6 PM
$45 adults $35 kids (12 & younger)
